Aichi's Butterfly Brewery is partnering with NUTORI Brewing in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, and will connect two kegs starting Friday, April 3. On Sunday, April 5, it will hold a beer run based at the brewery. It's a weekend event where you can run, drink, and enjoy interaction between local breweries.
Hop BroButterfly Brewery is doing a beer run at NUTORI Brewing in Kawaguchi, Saitama on Sunday, April 5, 2026! Starting Friday, April 3, two Butterfly kegs will be connected to the taps there.
MugiWhat, the kind where you run and then drink!? The craft beer world is suddenly getting way too athletic!
Hop BroThat’s the clever part. You meet at 11:00, do about a 6 km run, and then from around 1:30 PM there’s an after-party where you can really drink. The running and drinking are kept separate, so it’s easy to join.
MugiOhhh! And what beers are they pouring? I’m really curious whether it’s IPA, sour, or what!
Hop BroThis time, the announcement only says they’ll be offering two kegs from Butterfly Brewery, so the beer names and styles seem to be a day-of surprise. The biggest draw is being able to connect the taps and taste them side by side.
MugiTap connection sounds like spaceship docking or something!?
Hop BroPretty much, right? It means connecting the keg to the dispenser and starting service. And this time there’s even "Aichi-style food" from Koba-san, the proprietress of NUTORI Brewing, so the pairing is already complete.
MugiThat’s amazing! Run, drink, eat, and there’s even Kiraku-yu nearby... that’s too much power for one day!
Hop BroButterfly opened in Kasugai, Aichi on November 3, 2021, and has been cultivating a beer-and-music community, so even this out-of-prefecture collaboration has that strong "drinking through connections" vibe.
MugiSame-day participation is OK, and if I can join the beer run for free, I’ve got no excuse! Hop bro, let’s do "run first, then cheers" in Kawaguchi on April 5!

Because the running time and drinking time are clearly separated, it is designed to be easy to join whether your goal is running or beer. It can be described as a plan that adds light exercise and a stroll around town to the craft beer idea of "drinking together through connections."
Butterfly Brewery is based in Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture, and opened on November 3, 2021. On its official website, it describes itself as "a place where you can drink beer while listening to music," and it holds mini concerts throughout the year. This effort in Kawaguchi is likely to offer a chance to experience the brewery's community-minded spirit through collaboration with a friendly brewery outside the prefecture.
